The problem with the solar carport idea is... when the sun is shining all day, my car is sitting in a shadeless parking lot at work 5/7ths of the week. So you would also need to have a whole battery for the garage somewhat larger than the one in the car to actually charge your car from that. And of course, my house is surrounded by 70-85' tall trees that make solar non cost effective.
